The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies’ lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and we are committed to bringing that number down to zero. Through educating parents on how they can reduce the risk of SIDS and investing over £12 million in research, we have played a key role in reducing the number of babies who die from SIDS by 82%, saving the lives of more than 29,000 babies. Each year we train thousands of health professionals to support parents in sleeping their baby safely. We campaign tirelessly to raise awareness of SIDS and ensure our life saving advice reaches all parents. The Lullaby Trust supports bereaved families, through our helpline and befriending scheme. Our work with the NHS to provide a Care of Next Infant Programme (CONI) offers a lifeline to bereaved families expecting a new baby.

Created in memory of Annabel Hancox, and her inspiring attitude while battling cancer, we want to continue her memory by supporting families affected by cancer in Derby. We do this through fundraising to purchase items and equipment for cancer patients and their families in Derby (through our Grants Programme), support local cancer self-help groups and develop an online support service to help people suffering from cancer in Derby. Please support our cause by following our page and sharing it with your community.

The aims of the charity shall be to provide holidays for adults and children facing life threatening, life shortening and terminal conditions, to offer a memory making break from the daily stress of pain, hospitals, finances and loss. me&dee has a simple mission, to ensure families going through difficult and uncertain times are gifted with memories they can treasure, never losing sight of what truly matters. Because it’s those special moments shared with the ones we love, no matter how complicated circumstances may be, that are most precious of all.
